Hello Dotan

If you are going to use some kind of centralized accounting (+ home 
directory), then when you open an account you can initialize it's home 
directory with files that give it the setup you want (create a user, config 
it, and copy the . files to all the accounts)
If you are working localy only, clone your stations to get initial 
similarity
